California State Command Council (CSCC)attended the Black Americans Political Association California (BAPAC) Annual Convention.
The NABVETS California State Command Council (CSCC)
does much more than just claims and benefits. They are
changing lives and creating better lifestyles through
the programs and projects that they administer and the
alliances and partnerships that they have forged. Every
year CSCC attends and participates in many summits
and conventions, such as the first annual California
Black Veteran Summit held earlier this year. The summit
was held at the California African American Museum in
Los Angeles and was co-hosted by the California Dept.
of Veterans Affairs (CALVET) and the Black Chamber of
Commerce of Orange County. The event provided many
networking opportunities with veterans in need and
government and organizational representatives that
share the goal of assisting minority veterans.
The CSCC makes an effort to be involved and serve as
a voice for veterans at every opportunity where the
issues pertinent to veterans in California are being
addressed, from the private sector to the political arena.
Most recently the CSCC attended the Black Americans
Political Association California (BAPAC) Annual
Convention with political figures such as Senator Diane
Feinstein, California Governor Jerry Brown and Los
Angeles Assemblywoman Karen Bass.

approximately 180,000 of which are minorities,
including approximately 17,000 minority females
of which it is estimated that 1 out of 4 are homeless

to affect the lives of these veterans in a positive and
meaningful way.
